Chapter 176: Training Paper-cut Women

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou took out a clip from the box, chose a window grille and asked, "Can I just clip it on the rope?"

"Well, you clip it here." Gu Xiaoyou pointed to a position and asked Zhou to clip it.

At this time, the maids had tied the ropes and said one after another: "Boss, please rest, just let us do it."

"We don't need to clamp them together. Just watch. Clamp them up like this, and then clamp another one at a distance. Clamp the big one up, and put the small one on the rope below."

Gu Xiaoyou demonstrated it carefully and clamped the rope together with the maids.

It was easy to get things done when there were so many people, and it didn't take long for the hemp rope to be filled with all kinds of window grilles and greeting cards, large and small.

Gu Xiaoyou took a few steps back and had a panoramic view of the entire wall.

Not to mention, everyone picks what they like and clips it to the rope. Although there is no pattern at all, the various colors and patterns are intertwined, which is quite interesting.

"How does it look good?" Gu Xiaoyou turned around and asked several maids and Mrs. Zhou for their opinions.

"It looks beautiful, like flowers blooming on the wall."

"It's very beautiful. I have never seen such beautiful colored paper."

"Stupid, these are the window grilles cut by the boss."

"I like the greeting cards made by my boss, they are very elegant."

Gu Xiaoyou listened to everyone's mixed opinions and couldn't help but curl up his lips: "Wait until I make more tricks and fill the entire wall."

"That's great. This wall will definitely be the most beautiful wall in the capital by then."

"I would say it is the most beautiful wall in Chaoyang Kingdom."

Gu Xiaoyou was amused by the maids' innocent words. She looked at each other and laughed together.

After admiring the paper-cut wall, Gu Xiaoyou sorted the greeting cards into categories and placed them on the shelf closest to the counter.

After setting up the shop, it was already sunset.

"Okay, close the shop and let everyone go have a rest." Gu Xiaoyou locked the shop door and said to everyone.

"Yes." The waiters and maids responded and left one after another.

Gu Xiaoyou and Mrs. Zhou locked the shop and left together.

The next day, the sun hung high in the sky, and the sunshine was very bright.

It's a pity that it's late autumn, and the strong autumn wind blows by, making people feel chilly. No matter how good the sunshine is, it can't withstand the coolness brought by the autumn wind.

Gu Xiaoyou was wrapped in a thick cloak and interviewed the female workers in the backyard of the store.

With several interview experiences, Gu Xiaoyou quickly selected suitable female workers, signed contracts with them and brought them back to the shop for training.

There was a boiler burning in the shop, and Gu Xiaoyou's body, which was cooled by the autumn wind, relaxed this time.

The female workers followed Gu Xiaoyou into the house. After warming themselves up, they began to look around the shop quietly.

They could barely maintain their composure when they saw the greeting cards on the shelf. When they saw the paper-cut wall opposite the shelf, they all had shocked looks on their faces. It was the first time for them to see window grilles.

I never imagined that ordinary colored paper could turn into such colorful patterns.

Gu Xiaoyou waited for them patiently for a while, cleared his throat and said, "You must have seen the window grilles on the wall and the greeting cards on the shelves. I recruited you to make these two things."

"Cut window grilles...can we learn such beautiful window grilles?"

"The greeting cards also have window grilles."

"It feels so difficult. Can I learn it?"

The female workers were talking a lot, and Gu Xiaoyou clapped her hands, and the female workers immediately became quiet.

Gu Xiaoyou slowly said: "Window grilles and greeting cards may seem difficult, but as long as you master the skills and practice more, you can learn them. I learn all the patterns here and make them now. Everyone also has two hands and twenty sticks."

Fingers, if I can do it, I believe you can do it too. Everyone comes to work just for a bite of food. Now I will teach you the art of eating. Do you have confidence?"

"Yes!" The female workers were successfully mobilized by Gu Xiaoyou's encouraging words and responded loudly.

"Okay, come over here and sit down." Gu Xiaoyou said with satisfaction.

Two circles of tables and chairs have been set up in the shop, with scissors and colored paper placed on the tables.

Gu Xiaoyou stood in the center of the tables and chairs and arranged: "Tall people will sit in the second row, and short people will sit in the first row."

"Yes." The female workers responded and quickly took their seats on the seats according to their sizes.

After the female workers sat down, Gu Xiaoyou rubbed her little hands. After rubbing them to warm them, she moved her fingers and said, "I'll demonstrate it first, and you guys will watch first."

The female workers nodded and watched as Gu Xiaoyou picked up the colored paper on the table, folded it a few times into a triangle, then picked up the scissors and started cutting on the paper.

Gu Xiaoyou's paper-cutting movements are skillful and flexible, and she proceeds directly to each step with almost no hesitation or pause. The scissors seem to have their own consciousness and swim on the colored paper, and her white and slender fingers seem to be butterflies flying on the colored paper.

, controlling the scissors to dance up and down on the colored paper.

The female workers leaned forward, their eyes constantly watching the movements of Gu Xiaoyou's hands.

The whole store was extremely quiet, with only the sound of scissors clattering echoing in the store.

After less than a cup of tea, Gu Xiaoyou stopped moving. She put the scissors on the table and gently pushed away the excess debris from the colored paper with her slender fingers.

She grabbed both ends of the colored paper and slowly opened it. All the female workers subconsciously held their breath and stared at Gu Xiaoyou's hand. As the colored paper slowly unfolded, a lifelike flower bloomed on the colored paper.

superior.

"so beautiful!"

"Is this the colored paper just now?"

"It's like magic. Just move the scissors a few times and flowers will appear."

The female workers all praised, and Gu Xiaoyou smiled slightly and said calmly: "This is the first pattern I learned. It took me half an hour to learn it. It is also the one I have cut the most, so now it is less than one stick of incense."

You can cut it out with just a little effort. I believe your hands are more skillful and you will master it faster than me. Now I will teach you. First, pick up the colored paper on the table and fold it according to my movements."

"Yes." The female workers all sat upright and followed Gu Xiaoyou's movements.

One day passed, and Gu Xiaoyou taught the female workers three tricks. Except for the first one being a window grille, the remaining two were paper cuts for greeting cards. After all, she still had to deliver the goods.

In the evening, he went home and continued to discuss breakfast with Mr. Zhou. He stayed in the kitchen until the moon came up and then Gu Xiaoyou returned to the room.

After a simple wash, Gu Xiaoyou began to study how to make paper-cutting more understandable. After all, there is a difference between cutting by yourself and teaching others.

She found a lot of tutorial videos on folk paper-cutting and followed the teacher in the video to learn how to do it in the middle of the night. She couldn't stand it anymore so she lay down on the bed to rest. She got up early the next day and made breakfast with Zhou to give it to Mu Wuchen.
